2 Timothy 4

The Message Bible MSG

1 I can't impress this on you too strongly. God is looking over your shoulder. Christ himself is the Judge, with the final say on everyone, living and dead. He is about to break into the open with his rule,

2 so proclaim the Message with intensity; keep on your watch. Challenge, warn, and urge your people. Don't ever quit. Just keep it simple.

3 You're going to find that there will be times when people will have no stomach for solid teaching, but will fill up on spiritual junk food - catchy opinions that tickle their fancy.

4 They'll turn their backs on truth and chase mirages.

5 But you - keep your eye on what you're doing; accept the hard times along with the good; keep the Message alive; do a thorough job as God's servant.

6 You take over. I'm about to die, my life an offering on God's altar.

7 This is the only race worth running. I've run hard right to the finish, believed all the way.

8 All that's left now is the shouting - God's applause! Depend on it, he's an honest judge. He'll do right not only by me, but by everyone eager for his coming.

9 Get here as fast as you can.

10 Demas, chasing fads, went off to Thessalonica and left me here. Crescens is in Galatia province, Titus in Dalmatia.

11 Luke is the only one here with me. Bring Mark with you; he'll be my right-hand man

12 since I'm sending Tychicus to Ephesus.

13 Bring the winter coat I left in Troas with Carpus; also the books and parchment notebooks.

14 Watch out for Alexander the coppersmith.

15 Fiercely opposed to our Message, he caused no end of trouble. God will give him what he's got coming.

16 At my preliminary hearing no one stood by me. They all ran like scared rabbits. But it doesn't matter -

17 the Master stood by me and helped me spread the Message loud and clear to those who had never heard it. I was snatched from the jaws of the lion!

18 God's looking after me, keeping me safe in the kingdom of heaven. All praise to him, praise forever! Oh, yes!

19 Say hello to Priscilla and Aquila; also, the family of Onesiphorus.

20 Erastus stayed behind in Corinth. I had to leave Trophimus sick in Miletus.

21 Try hard to get here before winter. Eubulus, Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all your friends here send greetings.

22 God be with you. Grace be with you.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 testificor coram Deo et Christo Iesu qui iudicaturus est vivos ac mortuos et adventum ipsius et regnum eius

2 praedica verbum insta oportune inportune argue obsecra increpa in omni patientia et doctrina

3 erit enim tempus cum sanam doctrinam non sustinebunt sed ad sua desideria coacervabunt sibi magistros prurientes auribus

4 et a veritate quidem auditum avertent ad fabulas autem convertentur

5 tu vero vigila in omnibus labora opus fac evangelistae ministerium tuum imple

6 ego enim iam delibor et tempus meae resolutionis instat

7 bonum certamen certavi cursum consummavi fidem servavi

8 in reliquo reposita est mihi iustitiae corona quam reddet mihi Dominus in illa die iustus iudex non solum autem mihi sed et his qui diligunt adventum eius

9 festina venire ad me cito

10 Demas enim me dereliquit diligens hoc saeculum et abiit Thessalonicam Crescens in Galliam Titus in Dalmatiam

11 Lucas est mecum solus Marcum adsume et adduc tecum est enim mihi utilis in ministerium

12 Tychicum autem misi Ephesum

13 paenulam quam reliqui Troade apud Carpum veniens adfers et libros maxime autem membranas

14 Alexander aerarius multa mala mihi ostendit reddat ei Dominus secundum opera eius

15 quem et tu devita valde enim restitit verbis nostris

16 in prima mea defensione nemo mihi adfuit sed omnes me dereliquerunt non illis reputetur

17 Dominus autem mihi adstitit et confortavit me ut per me praedicatio impleatur et audiant omnes gentes et liberatus sum de ore leonis

18 liberabit me Dominus ab omni opere malo et salvum faciet in regnum suum caeleste cui gloria in saecula saeculorum amen

19 saluta Priscam et Aquilam et Onesifori domum

20 Erastus remansit Corinthi Trophimum autem reliqui infirmum Mileti

21 festina ante hiemem venire salutat te Eubulus et Pudens et Linus et Claudia et fratres omnes

22 Dominus Iesus cum spiritu tuo gratia nobiscum amen
